|
|
Prevocalic |
Constant before vowels |
|
|
Intervocalic |

|
|

|
|
Diagraphs |
two letters that represent one sound |
|
|
Graphemes |
letter or groups of letters that represent one sound |
|
|
Morpheme |
The smallest unit of meaning in language |
|
|
Phonology vs orthography |
Study of speech sound is phonology and study of the writing system is orthography |
|
|
Allograph vs. Digraph |
A digraph is a pair of letters that represent one sound. Allographs are differing letter sequences that represent the same phoneme. |
|
|
Phoneme vs, Grapheme |
Smallest unit of sound that holds meaning (phonemes) b. A letter or group of letters that represent sound (grapheme) |
|
|
explain why English is considered a morphophonemic language |
The English language represents both sound and meaning |
|
|
tense vowels are |
Longer in duration ex hoot |
|
|
List two minimal pairs (words that differ by only one sound) contrasting the /i/ and /ɪ/ vowels. You can use orthography to write the minimal pairs |
Deep , dip |
|
|
Are all vowels voiced |
Yes |
|
|
Explain why the non-phonemic diphthongs are not phonemic |
They are non- phonemic because diphthong production is not phonemically different from their monophthong form. These sounds can be represented by either symbol without it changing its meaning |
|
|
In most American English dialects, are the above sounds usually pronounced as monophthongs or diphthongs |
Diphthongs |
|
|
Are these diphthongs usually transcribed as monophthongs or diphthongs |
Monophthongs |
|
|
True or False: Vowel diagraphs and diphthongs are the same thing. Why or why not |
False. Vowel diagraphs are combinations of letters that make a single sound |
|
|
Provide the phonetic symbols of the three phonemic diphthongs and explain why they are considered phonemic and not non-phonemic |
aɪ /aʊ/ ɔɪ They are all considered phonemic because the presence of each of these sounds reflects a change in meaning |
|
|
How are vowel sounds different from consonant sounds? |
Vowel sounds are open sounds, consonants are closed. Vowel sounds are not as restricted as articulators as consonant sound. Vowel sounds are always voiced and more intense |
|
|
List two minimal pairs (words that differ by only one sound) contrasting the /e/ and /ɛ/ vowels. You can use orthography to write the minimal pairs. |
/e/ - rake /ɛ/ - wreck |
|
|
List two minimal pairs (words that differ by only one sound) contrasting the /ɛ/ and /ɪ/ vowels. You can use orthography to write the minimal pairs |
